Lucas Moura has told Tottenham Hotspur fans that "this is just the beginning" after his fantastic performance in the 3-0 victory at Manchester United on Monday night.

The 26-year-old Brazilian was in sensational form at Old Trafford, scoring twice and ripping Jose Mourinho's side apart with his bursts through the middle and from out wide.

It made it three goals in three starts for Lucas to carry on from a fine pre-season and the Brazilian believes there is more to come.

"This is only the beginning. I want to do a lot more for this club and I think the Spurs fans deserve a trophy," he told the club website.

"I will do my best to make them dream, to make them happy and to win a trophy this season is my objective."

On his second goal, which saw him speed past United defender Chris Smalling before smashing a shot past David De Gea, Lucas added: "What a moment! I can’t explain to you what I am feeling, it’s a very special moment for me.
